What's New
Every release, what changed, and why it matters.
A humanizer that keeps your formatting, human-style edits, and fairer billing
Humanizer Keeps Your Formatting
ImprovedMLA headers, section numbers, lists, and blank lines now survive the rewrite instead of collapsing into one flat paragraph. Citations and your Works Cited are left exactly as you wrote them, and the pop-out window no longer flattens paragraphs either.
Human-Style Apollo Edits
ImprovedApollo's smaller corrections now go through the same human-style typer as full drafts — character by character, with every deletion verified before the replacement is typed. No more instant API-style edits standing out in your version history.
Cheaper Apollo Conversations
ImprovedLong conversations now reuse what the model has already read instead of paying for it again — up to 70% fewer tokens on long chats.
Charged Once, Exactly Once
NewEvery AI run now debits your balance exactly once, backed by a full charge ledger. If a network hiccup delivers the same request twice, the duplicate is recognized and never billed.
Free Tokens on Your Schedule
ImprovedYour free monthly tokens now refill on the monthly anniversary of your signup date, instead of everyone waiting for the 1st.
Free Limits Respect Your Balance
ImprovedDaily free-run limits only apply to free runs. If you have tokens, the run keeps going on your balance instead of stopping.
Insert Text on Google Slides
FixedManual Insert Text works on Slides again, typed straight into the text box you selected.
Conversation Replay
ImprovedReopening a saved conversation now shows Apollo's replies and keeps the activity cards, and every document gets its own chat that resumes automatically when you come back.
Writing Tab Follows Your Doc
ImprovedThe Writing tab now switches the moment you change tabs, tells you when the reviewed document is open somewhere else, and explains what to do when a document can't be read.
Consistent, Private AI Detection
ImprovedAI detection is pinned to a fixed detector version so scores stay consistent run to run — and your essay text is never written to our server logs.

- —Long humanizer runs on the website no longer time out at 29 seconds

- —Being signed out returns you to the sign-in screen instead of failing silently
